The stay was nice. A bit more in price but it was a holiday weekend. Tucked away just off the HWY behind a restaurant. Not the best neighborhood but the Hotel does have security in the parking lot at night. Staff was friendly and hotel was clean. No issues like other brands that have guest that are loud in the rooms and smell of weed. Hotel is a little older but our experience was great. Breakfast was outstanding and the staff very pleasant. Thank you

I was surprisingly impressed with this hotel the condition of the hotel looks like it was most built maybe a few years back, it was clean and the breakfast options were many which helps when you have a picky toddler. The room were clean and the shower was huge. Only draw back was the ice machine on the second floor was not working and there was no microwave in my room. Other than that a good stay.
